THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE
TALLY SHEET CASES.

TALLY SHEET CASES.
From the first, Democrats whether re-
siding in Marion County or elsewhere,
were DESTROYS that the man, Democrat or
Republican, who altered the tally sheets,
issued felonious circulars voted double
tickets or voted more than one time,
should be apprekended and punished.
1t was known that the tally sheets had
been. unlawfully taken in charge by Re-
publican officials in obedience to the re-
quirements stated in the Canadian fslon-
ious circular.
1t was believed, and rightly too, that the
purpose of the Republicans in illegally OBJ
tanning possession of the tally sheets was
to perpetrate fraud of some description.
II was known that there were Republi.
can adopts in forgery, and that the party
had often perpetrated the most hagrant
frauds to secure Off ce.
A crime had been committed, but who
the perpretator was could not be ascertain
ed. Why Republicans unlawfully secured
possession OF the tally sheets admitted of
but one explanation, and that was that
they contemplated perpretrating fraud
OF some sort. Canadians circular, mani
testify, was the first step taken to psrpetrate
a crime. 1t was successful, in so far as CIV
ing Republicans unlawful possession of the
papers.
Carnahan has been indicted for commit
ting felony.
He has not been brought to trial.
The crime he committed, though it was
the first in the sseries iand contemplated
other crimes, has not been tried.
Republicans are endeavoring to screen
the felon.
The entire Republican party indorses
Canadians crime.
The party would debauch court and jury
to shield Carnahan.
A Republican criminal is a Republican
pet.
Day after day the Journal has hoWled
like bystericaI crank and an asthmatic
invalid, charging the Sentinel and the
Democratic party with indorsing forgery
and defending forgers.
This lying article was adopted and pur-
sued for the purpose of shielding itself aud
clique from merited obloquy, for indorsing
and defending Canadians crime.
The Sentinel and Democratic party de-
mand fair trial for indicted Republicans
and Democrats. The demand was never
made by the Sentinel that Carnshan
should be convicted upon psrjured testi-
mony.
The Journal pursued a different course
1t wanted Democrats convicted upon per.
| jured testimony. 1t Endorsed perjury. 1t
eulogized the perurer.
An alleged Democrat confessed that he
committed the forgery. This he did upon
a contract to implicste Democrats who, a:
was shown in open court, were guiltless,
and that verdict of guilty could be OBJ
tanned only on perjured testimony.
Seven jurors, honest men, men of unim
peachable characters, men under oath, did
not believe Sam Perkins. His testimony
was shown to be false. That he swore by
contract, more to shield himself, more II
crafty the Journal and the malignant creV
who support it, was apparent.
Democrats-honest men Of all parties
should understand that the Journal is ani
mated by an implacable hate of the Demo
cratic party; by desire to imprison no n
est, innocent Democrats for partisan pun
poses, willing to find them guilty on per
jured testimony, and is mad because il
plans and schemes did not succsed.
While the Journal aud its party are pun
suing Democrats with an unparalleled NAL
ignity, they are shielding Carnahan, VII
Is indicted for committing felony. The.
dare not bring their Republican culpri
into court. They dare not compel him
face convincing proof Of his guilt.
We invite the attention Of Democrat
and the Democratic press of the State
the incontrovertable facts as We ha'
stated them.
